So yesterday, DH gave me an early Christmas present. A Canon Rebel T2i. OMG! *swooning*It is awesome. So we went to see the sand sculptors on the beach. And I played with the settings. And played. And really played. The fun was neverending.
The sand sculptures were amazing.
The first one is the grinch that stole Thanksgiving. It was a hoot. The detail is phenomenal. Truly.
This lady was huge, and her eyes, very eerie.These are famous sculptures from all over the world.
I took about 200 pix. Low for me, but I turned on RAW (never did that before) and jpeg. Takes up a lot of space.
I went semi-manual. Gasp,faint,thud. I KNOW! Had mixed results which is okay = because it was all about the playing. And I played.
One problem I had was when I flipped it off and on. My fingernail hit the wheel and moved it from AV to M. Good thing I looked at LCD. Because whoa!!! Time to regroup. lol!!!!
This gent is detailing an outhouse. I hate outhouses. Really. eeeuuuu!!! However, this is soooooo cool. Ther eis a dragon hugging the castle. Again, the detail is awesome.Take note HOW FAR the outhouse is from the castle. You'll be doing a lot of stepping down the staircase, unless you decide to just roll down the side, with hopefully enough momentum to fling yourself up the otherside. Just saying..........

Ekk, wow! I so would have wanted to be there with you for those cuties. YEAH on the camera too and you will end up playing forever on settings. I find one works one time and not another so I change all of the time and experiment.
Thanks For blog with valuable informations.
What a fun day, those sculptures are awesome, I've never seen anything like that up close and personal. Oh and what a great guy you've got there, I'd say he's most likely a keeper. LOL
